GOLDEN TEXT: “All things work together for good to them that love God”.—(Rom. 8:28). (By H. N. SNYDER). THE ROYALTY OF CHARACTER—One cannot escape a sense of contrast as this old man, the aged and patriarchal Jacob, stands in the Presence of the king, the one but a herdsman, the other a powerful rul er of a mighty nation. Yet one feels that somehow the real king is the Hebrew shepherd. There i 3 that about him which is independent, as it were, of what he has, what his pursuit is, or cf what his rank in life is. The king generously sets apart a large tract of land for the herdsman and his people. A royal condescension and kingly liberality this is. But when the old man, ap parently a dependent upon the bounty of the king, confers his blessing, he seerr.s to be making the greater gift and to be the greater man of the two. His is the royalty of character, the kingliness of spirit, and what he is gives him his ra.nk and dignity. In spite of his selfishness, his -greed, his backsliding®, his life bad been led by a great purpose, and its do/rkrant forces were religious. God had set him apart for a mission of service, and these are the things that come in mind when we see him face to face with Pharaoh. Is there, after all, any royalty superior, to that of character ? Who is the real king among his feliows ? When we know that tile merchant has acquired his wealth by dishonorable methods, or the lawyer has built up a practice soiled with perversions of justice, or the politician has gained his place by corrupt practices, or the mechanic deliberately does shoddy work—whatever success that each may have attained, we feel, has been dearly bought. Back of what they have accomplished is what they are, their real manhood; and in this God and man both final ly make the test of their rank, the manhood and womanhood test. A man or woman who has apparently accomplished far less may, from the standpoint of character be worth more to the community. In the glare and noise of many interests we are apt to forget this —that the final value and permanence of the social, civic, and industrial life of our community, be it large or small, depends upon the number and influence of the righteous men and women in it. These are our peo ple of rank, a rank based on the royalty cf character. City Baraca Union’s 2nd Annual Barbecue I . At Lake View Park Thursday Evening. Indications Point to Large Attendance and Successful Affair. Committee Hears Encouraging Reports. Next Thursday at Lake View Park the City Baraca Union, an organiza tion composed of all the Sunday school Baraca classes in Augusta, will hold its second annual barbecue for the recreation and enjoyment of the membership and the financial benefit of the Unioh.
